So I kinda feel for the guy. I also see I learned exactly what you are talking about. It didn't work to have the situation develop as it did. I was avoiding it and made things much harder. I wish I had thought of talking to the friend I liked spending time with about our sex life and working on the communication. It is what I need to work on in my present relationship, growing that part of being human. Lesson learned. Thanks for the reminder!

I was afraid for a moment I was one of the two girls. I called my Kris and asked straight out, "are you seeing someone else"? He hesitated. The other girl is his old girlfriend. So I know I am not the "person" in this story, but I am. Glad to know I am not going to waste my holiday time. I also have to say wow, I have faith in the Universe to love and support me and boy did it ever. A friend sent me your post, of course I almost didn't even read it. Thank you Universe.

And hurt. I would only consider asking a man to my family holiday gathering that I was serious about. Not as a way to put pressure on him, but to open more of my heart and my life to him. You were very kind in your assessment of Kris. I think he is an ass*ole playing with people who would be willing to keep doing it if the circumstance of both girls inviting him didn't force his hand.
